bowtiebutler956 166 #1 Posted January 29, 2014 Just to be clear, this is not a restoration. This was just a fix anything that needs fixing, and slap a coat of paint on it, refurbish. My dad has a large piece of property, and we picked this up at an auction for $200. Its an old 93 Toro Groundsmaster with a 25hp Mitsubishi K3D 3 cylinder diesel, and a 72" mowing deck. This thing is a MONSTER. It will mow a lot of grass in a hurry!! My first time using it was not pretty, as its huge mower deck takes some getting use to. I mowed lots of plants, and small trees that I shouldn't have. My mom said "keep that monstrosity away from my flower bed"!!! Anyway, here are a few pics. You can see from some of my patches on the deck, that the previous owners had a hard time avoiding, smashing into things with this huge deck as well. This deck was very rough!
